I invest in great founders who have a deep understanding of a customer problem and are driven to build a solution that is disruptive to a growing market. I am an operator first - my personal experience as an entrepreneur has informed my perspective that the rising tide of a growing market is the best path to building a high-growth company. My global perspective helps me to identify markets opportunities. I seek frontier markets - both geographic markets and sectors that are poised for growth.
